We have used mutational analysis to identity four genes, MXAN3553, MXAN3554, MXAN3555, and MXAN3556, constituting an operon that is essential for normal fruiting body development in Myxococcus xanthus. Deletion of MXAN3553, which encoded a hypothetical protein, resulted in delayed fruiting body development. MXAN3554 was predicted to encode a metallopeptidase, and its deletion caused fruiting body formation to fail. Inactivation of MXAN3555, which encoded a putative NtrC-type response regulator, resulted in delayed aggregation and a severe reduction in sporulation. Fruiting bodies also failed to develop with the deletion of MXAN3556, another gene encoding a hypothetical protein.

이 실험의 목적은 침엽수(Paraserianthes falcataria)와 활엽수(Shoreasp) 골목에서 두 개의 Ganoderma lucidum 균주의 자실체 발생과 성장을 연구하고 자실체의 organic germanium 과 crude ganoderic acid 함량을 측정하기 위함이다. 두 개의 Ganaderma lucidum중 하나는 인도네시아 본지에서 분리한 것이고 또 다른 하나는 Fungi Perfecti, USA에서 구입한 것을 사용하였다. 일반적으로 활엽수에서 생성된 자실체의 농도가 침엽수에서 자란 것보다 훨씬 높다. 두 종류의 골목 모두에서 상업용 균주에서 생산된 자실체의 organic germanium 농도가 인도네시아의 균주에서 생산된 자실체의 organic germanium 농도보다 높았다. 이에 반하여 버섯 자실체의 crude ganoderic acid 농도는 두 개의 균주로부터 생산된 자실체에서 거의 같은 농도를 보였다. 인도네시아 균주는 상업용 분리균주와 비교했을 때 생산된 자실체의 총 organic germanium과 총 crude ganoderic acid의 생산성이 높았다.

The oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus) is one of the most important edible mushrooms worldwide. The mechanism of P. ostreatus fruiting body development has been of interest both for the basic understanding of the phenotypic change of the mycelium-fruiting body and to improve breeding of the mushrooms. Based on our previous publication of P. ostreatus expressed sequence tag database, 1,528 unigene clones were used in macroarray analysis of mycelium, fruiting body and basidiospore developmental stages of P. ostreatus. Gene expression profile databases generated by evaluating expression levels showed that 33, 10, and 94 genes were abundantly expressed in mycelium, fruiting body and basidiospore developmental stages, respectively. Among them, the genes specifically expressed in the fruiting body stage were further analyzed by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and Northern blot to investigate temporal and spatial expression patterns. These results provide useful information for future studies of edible mushroom development.

The spore of Tricholoma matsutake is considered to be the starting point of the mushroom growth cycle, but the mechanism of mycelial development from the spore stage is not yet clarified. In this study, we tried to measure how far the spores of T. matsutake disperse from a fruiting body located at a Pinus densiflora stand in Korea. We established 16 slide glasses coated with glycerin near a fruiting body in four directions separated by four different distance intervals within a mushroom productive stand after removing all other fruiting bodies from three plots. The number of dispersed spores increased with time from the first day (475 $spores/cm^2$) to the fourth day (836 $spores/cm^2$) after the pileus opened. The number of spores dispersed downward was about 1.5 times greater than that dispersed toward the ride. The number of dispersed spores decreased exponentially as the distance from each fruiting body increased. More than 95% of the spores dropped within a meter from the fruiting body, with 75% dropping within 0.5 m. Even so, the number of spores dispersed over 5 m from the fruiting body was more than 50 million when considering the total number of spores produced by a fruiting body is about 5 billion.

Interest in commercial cultivation and product development of Cordyceps species has shown a recent increase. Due to its biochemical and pharmacological effects, Cordyceps militaris, commonly known as orange caterpillar fungus, is being investigated with great interest. Cultivation of C. militaris has been practiced on a large scale in order to fulfill a demand for scientific investigation and product development. Isolates of C. militaris can be easily established from both spores and tissue. For isolation of spores, ascospores released from mature stromata are trapped in sterile medium. Multi-ascospore isolates, as well as combinations of single ascospore strains, are used for production of fruiting bodies. Progeny ascospore strains can be isolated from artificial fruiting bodies, thus, the cycle of fruiting body production can be continued for a long period of time. In this study, we examined fruiting body production from multi-ascospore isolates and their progeny strains for three generations. $F_1$ progeny strains generally produced a larger number of fruiting bodies, compared with their mother multi-ascospore isolates; however, $F_2$ and $F_3$ progeny strains produced fewer fruiting bodies. Optimum preservation conditions could help to increase the vitality of the progeny strains. In order to retain the fruiting ability of the strains, further testing of various methods of preservation and different methods for isolation should be performed.

The fruiting body pattern is an important agronomic trait of the edible fungus Auricularia auricula-judae, and an important breeding target. There are two types of fruiting body pattern: the cluster type and the chrysanthemum type. We identified the fruiting body pattern of 26 test strains, and then constructed two different near-isogenic pools. Then, we developed sequence characterized amplified region (SCAR) molecular markers associated with the fruiting body pattern based on sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP) markers. Ten different bands (189-522 bp) were amplified using 153 pairs of SRAP primers. The SCAR marker "SCL-18" consisted of a single 522-bp band amplified from the cluster-type strains, but not the chrysanthemum strains. This SCAR marker was closely associated with the cluster-type fruiting body trait of A. auricula-judae. These results lay the foundation for further research to locate and clone genes controlling the fruiting body pattern of A. auricula-judae.

점액세균 Myxococcus stipitatus는 순수분리를 위한 농화배양 과정에서는 자연기질 표면에서 자루가 달린 구형 자실체를 형성한다. 하지만 순수 분리된 균주가 이러한 형태의 자실체를 형성하도록 하는 한천배지는 알려져 있지 않다. M. stipitatus DSM 14675 균주는 CYS 평판배지에서 반구형 자실체 유사 구조물을 형성하므로 CYS 배지 성분이 자실체 형성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 그리고 이를 기초로 M. stipitatus 세포들이 구에 자루가 달린 자실체를 형성하는 한천배지 조성을 개발하였다. 본 연구에서는 또 이와 함께 M. stipitatus DSM 14675 균주가 분산하여 성장하는 액체배지도 개발하였다.

Cordyceps cardinalis successfully produced its fruiting bodies from multi-ascospore isolates. However, subcultures of multiascospore isolates could not produce fruiting bodies after few generations. Fruiting body production also differed from sector to sector of the same isolate. Single ascospore isolates were then co-inoculated in combinations of two to observe the fruiting characteristics. Combinations of certain isolates produced perithecial stromata formation, whereas other combinations did not produce any fruiting bodies. These results show that C. cardinalis is a heterothallic fungus, requiring two isolates of opposite mating types for fruiting body production. It was also shown that single ascospore isolates are hermaphrodites.

Chondromyces crocatus의 자실체 형성에 대한 정량적 연구를 위하여 필수적인 분산된 세포현탁액 제조방법을 개발하였다. C. crocatus 세포들은 액체에서 서로 응집하는 특성이 있어 정량적 연구가 어렵다. 하지만 3% 한천을 함유한 casitone-yeast extract 평판배지에서 배양한 세포들은 물에 잘 분산되어 분산된 세포현탁액을 제조할 수 있었다. 이렇게 제조한 $2{\times}10^8cells/ml$ 농도의 세포현탁액 $20{\mu}l$를 영양분이 고갈된 평판배지 위에 올려놓고 배양하였을 때 C. crocatus 특유의 자실체를 형성하였다. Casitone과 같은 영양분을 첨가하였을 때는 자실체 형성이 저해되거나 변형되었으며, 한천의 농도가 높을수록 자실체의 가지수가 증가되었다. 조사된 최적조건에서 C. crocatus KYC2823은 24시간 내로 자실체 구조를 완성하였다.
